Auburn takes SEC women's golf title

Auburn won the SEC women's golf title Sunday by firing a 1-over 285 to top second-place Arkansas and Alabama by eight strokes in Blythewood, S.C.

The Tigers led by six strokes after Friday's first round, but struggled to a 296 (+12) on Saturday to fall out of the lead, three shots behind Arkansas. But the Razorbacks shot an identical score to Auburn's second round on Sunday, and the Tigers responded with the best team round of the tournament to take their eighth SEC Tournament title and their third in five years.

"Today was a round that makes your hair gray," said Auburn coach Kim Evans. "We started out so strong, they just went after it. Then we fell of a little bit, but we finished strong"
